Just over half of senior managers surveyed (51 per cent) said sloppiness and disorganization are employee characteristics that annoy them.

Coming in second, 28 per cent said they’re not too keen on “too many knickknacks and decorations” on a desk. Thirteen per cent said they have a problem with inappropriate or offensive photos or quotes.

And of employees who keep a barren workshop that’s “too clean” and void of any character? Seven per cent of senior managers have a problem with that, too.

The remaining percentage just don’t care about messy, clean or offensive work spaces at all.

But of course, this latest survey isn’t a death knell for the messy office worker.
